LITTLE ROCK — A former Little Rock radio minister said he is innocent of federal charges he defrauded listeners who donated money for a youth camp. Troy Cecil Snowden, 46, aired ''The Troy Snowden Ministry'' in Little Rock from October 1986 to 1988. Snowden is also accused in a federal indictment of fraudulently using his radio ministry to obtain property. The indictment alleged Snowden used his late-night call-in radio show on KAAY to solicit contributions to the ''Troy Snowden Ministry'' and ''Lion of Judah Youth Ranch.'' The contributions were received at a post office box in North Little Rock. He was arrested in Fort Myers Beach on May 24 but is free on bail.
